UPDATED on Dec. 2 at 10 a.m.: The temporary closure of the Los Altos Neighborhood Library, originally scheduled for Dec. 5 through 20, has been postponed. Details regarding the rescheduled closure will be provided at a later date.
Long Beach, CA – Long Beach Public Library’s (LBPL) Los Altos Neighborhood Library, located at 5614 E. Britton Drive, will temporarily close for scheduled facility maintenance beginning Monday, Dec. 5, 2022, and is anticipated to reopen on Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2022. This closure is needed to prepare the facility for a scheduled heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) replacement project, funded partially by Measure A, anticipated in early 2023. Outdoor book returns will be available for use during this time.
Library patrons are encouraged to visit other LBPL locations nearby during the scheduled closure, including:
- El Dorado Neighborhood Library, 2900 Studebaker Road, 562.570.3136
- Mark Twain Neighborhood Library, 1401 E. Anaheim St., 562.570.1046
- Bay Shore Neighborhood Library, 195 Bay Shore Ave., 562.570.1039
Patrons can also utilize the Library’s vast collection of digital resources, including the Library catalog, downloads and databases, available 24/7.
Proper HVAC allows for optimal indoor air quality, ventilation and temperature regulation and helps ensure a comfortable indoor environment. The City continues to identify ways to enhance existing facilities through these types of projects. Last year, the Alamitos Neighborhood Library – the oldest LBPL location – underwent similar HVAC replacement. Further information regarding the 2023 HVAC maintenance closure of the Los Altos branch will be provided at a later date.
More information about LBPL hours and locations is available on the Library’s website at lbpl.org.
